sweet but slow

Revisado: 02-08-20

Sweet and kind, but struggled to finish. Very slow burning romance. Lots of childbirths! Lots of soul searching. Needed more action.

struggled to finish

Revisado: 11-24-19

Historisch interessant, weil ganz neu für mich, aber sooo lang! Zu viele Leute, zu viele politische Einflüsse - für ein Audio-Buch zu kompliziert (und zu lange). So was muss man lesen. Ich könnte nicht alles zusammen halten.

What I never learned at school

Revisado: 11-09-19

incredible insights into features of WW2 at home, things I for sure never learned in school. Of course there are books to read, but here you hear recordings of people who lived through it and talk about it. An amazing project.

Dark villain

Revisado: 02-25-19

I like historical romance and this Georgian story might do it - except for the villain. A fiendish insane woman who expertly manipulates others and thinks nothing of killing infants - no thanks. It's different! But I could not get over the cold-bloodedness. I finished the first book but skipped the second with the same returned villain. All the other reviewers are gushing over this book, but you may have to be in the mood for it. I am not a fan of Salt either - he is too cold for me for most of the time.
Alex Wyndham's narration is wonderful, even female voices. I bought the series because of him.

Jamie and Lord John on a mission

Revisado: 08-07-18

This story takes place during Jamie's time in Helwater. Lord John's brother Hal sends them on a mission to Ireland. I like the interaction of the two brothers, with shadows of things to come in the main series. But I really liked the probing of the mystical and faith. On one hand Jamie is a really smart man who can puzzle out the motivations and the real story, on the other hand he is deeply rooted in faith and nature, open to the supernatural. The story is sad in parts, but it is good to see more of the developing relationship between Jamie and LJG.

I switched to reading

Revisado: 01-22-18

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I switched from listening to reading. Edward is extremely OCD. The way you find out about it is that every morning and every evening he goes through the same ritual which is described in detail. I had to switch to reading to skip those parts! Not for the narrator, who is excellent, but for the story. I really did not need to know the parallels of a Dragnet episode on Edward's life. Sorry.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Edward's character is portrayed well - he has a problem but he is also a person with feelings. He just cannot express them or understand them in others.
